Yes, they're clear about it being made from potato, but it clearly doesn't meet the definition of whiskey, which requires the distillate to be from grain. If you're going to have potato whiskey, why not grape whiskey, sugar whiskey, apple whiskey...or for that matter potato rum? It's very weird.

Re: Potato Whiskey

Here's the text defining the whisky class:

"

Spirits distilled from a fermented
mash of grain at less than 95%
alcohol by volume (190 proof) having
the taste, aroma and characteristics
generally attributed to whisky and
bottled at not less than 40% alcohol

Re: Potato Whiskey

Why are you so sure it did get by TTB? Yes, I can see the COLA, but has anyone seen this product in the marketplace? I would object to TTB, but not before I know this product is actually on sale somewhere.

Yes, though I look at a lot of micro websites and they vary a lot. Some of them don't update very much so only have a few of their first product up, but most of them at least have some product description. The only thing they have is "Home of 303 Vodka, 303 Whiskey and Rob's Mtn Gin.
